OPACITY INC: POST NOWIST PERFORMANCE ART

5.2.06

Maggots in your Culture Scene

“ our position is that we are combatants between two worlds – one that we don’t acknowledge, the other that does not yet exist” (Roale Vaneigem)

Today is Sunday, Sundays are often blue, Sundays are too often filled with nothing, Sundays are perfect days for writing.
I think this sunday is a good time and place (mentally) to try and explain some of the Opacity Inc. Manifesto (unfinished) and to place a bit of (con)text into this cyberdocument of our practice.

Who are we?
We are Opacity Inc.
A small collective of artists and activists, students and rebels, deviants, sinners and revolutionaries.

What do we do?
Opacity Inc. create large scale performance art events in public spaces, activist actions and subtle acts of eco-friendly vandalism, protests, culture jamming & city centre subversion.
We make films, books and posters.
We also run workshops which can coincide with all or specific parts of our artistic and activist practice.

Why do we do it?
Opacity Inc. believe that general revolution originates in the appropriation and alteration of the material environment and its space. We think global and act local.

Then again these are just Sunday ramblings, if you would like to know more then email us or wait until we publish our manifesto (March ’06).

Resist Much
Obey Little
